"Excuse me?" Emille replied to Briston leaning back on the comfortable small couch.

"We both have done great and awful things in our lives but yet there isn't a place for people like us in this world." Briston tried to simplify his statement.

"Speak sense please." Emille tried again.

"Heroes!" Briston almost yelled in frustration. "Heroes....... The heroes are never liked." Briston calmed down now.

"Your not a hero." Emille replied a little confused. "you've spent nearly two days trying to kill two people and you've been unsuccessful but yet your a hero?" Emille kind of laughed. Briston began curling a strand of hair so frantically Emille thought he might've torn it off his head eventually.

"Like I said before we've both done bad things, I've brought the human civilisation to a new planet! I allowed everyone to forget the past and start new! It's a new chapter! Don't you see Emille." Briston turned around looking out the circular window that was placed behind his desk. The window stretched from roof to floor and had a perfect view of triton with all of its lights shining bright in the night.

"This won't last forever though what happens when this world breaks, or is under siege, or there's a pandemic?" Emille said listing scenarios. Briston sighed heavily.

"We have technology here, ten times more advanced then the old world. We have achieved everything and more in two years then the old world ever did." Briston said. Emille couldn't believe this. This was insane. Briston called himself a hero. There was one city on the whole entire planet who knows what else is out there that could destroy everything Briston had.

"The galler." Emille said looking into the cold eyes of Briston.

"What about it?" He replied straightening out his suit and raising an eye brow.

"There must be thousands or maybe tens of thousands on this world but you and your arena security couldn't handle one."

Briston felt a little bit of embarrassment. Emille was right. The security forces couldn't maintain a creature of that ferocity. It was just wasn't possible.

"It was one time." Briston made a dumb excuse. Emille laughed and smiled.
